FINISHING MATERIALS
Recommended Application
Practices
Gypsum Wallboard:
Surfaces, including joint-treated areas,
must be smooth, clean and dry. First
apply a coat of sealing primer. Allow
primer to dry thoroughly, and main-
tain adequate drying conditions
after application. Primer is to mini-
mize sagging of gypsum wallboard
and discoloration or difference in
sheen on ceiling surface. Add dry
texture to water. Use a piston pump
or Mono-type pump with a texture
gun. Minimum 3/4" I.D. material
hose. A hopper-type gun with
adequate air supply is also suitable.
Typical coverage is 8-10 sq. ft. per lb.
for aggregated and 10-30 sq. ft.
per lb. for nonaggregated textures.
Mask appropriate areas before
spraying and promptly remove
overspray from unprotected surfaces
afterward. Follow the instructions of
the spray equipment manufacturer
for adjusting controls and cleaning.
If a second coat is desired, allow
the first coat to dry thoroughly.
Note: Gypsum wallboard ceiling
surfaces to be decorated with
water-thinned spray texture shall
be 1/2" or 5/8" thick and applied
perpendicular to the framing.
Framing shall not exceed 16" o.c.

Gypsum board.
Concrete:
Allow concrete to cure for at least
28 days. Clip protruding wire ends
and spot with rust-inhibitive primer.
Remove all form oil, grease and dirt,
or any loose or water-soluble material.
Grind down any form ridges, and
level any remaining unevenness
with ProForm
®
Quick Set Joint
Compound. Apply a coat of alkali-
resistant sealing primer over the
entire surface to be textured.
